Sun Set Favorites

       The sun is such a rare sight this time of year--I try to capture it in as many pictures as possible.  So I can enjoy the sight of it, all winter long.   I believe the best sun rise I have ever witnessed was several years ago when we still lived in Arizona.  Land of the sweating sun.  After finding out that my wife had never seen the Grand Canyon, we ditched the kiddos with Nana, and took off in the middle of the night.  I had a camper topper on the back of my pick-up, and we spent a very chilly night cuddled up to each other.  Way to early in the morning, we joined the masses- and took a short walk.  Witnessing the sun rise over this already beautiful place was beyond amazing.   I can not describe it in words or pictures.  I took some pictures, but they do not even start to give justice or credit to the sights we witnessed.   

      Because I do not function well in the morning, before many cups of coffee, most of my pictures are of sun sets!

       Today I wish to share some of my favorites.   Mostly from near the bay.  Because on a clear evening the views beat any show on television for sure!   The first few I would like to share --are not from Bellingham----for shame--I know!  But I find them very kool.   They were shot in my hometown of Sheridan, Wyoming.  For the many of you that have no clue were Wyoming is, it is the large, empty, snow-filled, square---in more ways than one, state directly below Montana.   Every one knows were Montana is!   Anyways, I recently spent some time there --- with my family.

This is actually in the town cemetery.

I was roaming around town -- taking pictures-

and got this great shot.

Very soon after, it started to pour down rain.

This one is over some random persons roof.  

It almost looks like a painting to me.

    I am thinking about posting the exploring blogs I posted on my other sight, while living in Wyoming, on this sight.   I try to deal with the ever beautiful Bellingham area, but this sight is also all about exploring.    Please let me know your thoughts on this!    Easily leave comments or check out both of my blog sights on my Facebook page.....

And now back to Bellingham!

Blaine, Washington

Down by the board walk is the place to be --come sun set!

Plus there is a walk up coffee shop near-by.

These were shot on the 4th of July

while waiting for the fireworks to start......

Roaming around the Fairhaven Terminal

   

Marine Park

I love this tree!

I have so many pictures of this tree--now I just need a fall picture and a snow picture.

                                                       Next post ---- Soggy Halloween!!

Fall In Fairhaven Volume One

        The trees have just begun to shed there green shells and blossom in a radiant rainbow of colors.   If we do not get a major freeze the colors should be beyond amazing.  I am borrowing a super nice camera at the moment, so have been finding more excuses to get out and explore.  Here is a taste of the fall beauty around Fairhaven!   A town that like Bellingham, always offers to lend amazing sights daily.   

   I hope that if nothing else my pictures in each blog post will show my love for this town.  I have moved back here five times now.  And something, beyond my wife and our kids, keeps drawing me back.  The sights are amazing, and my pictures do not even begin to do them justice.  Kind of like trying to describe the Grand Canyon to someone that has never been there.  Or take pictures of it---both I have tried and failed miserably at.  Please share this pictures with friends that you wish to visit Whatcom county!   And pass on my link if you enjoy what you see here. 

     This tree is right out our front door.  And is a different shade each time we look out.  

Just steps away from our parking lot, you start running into trails to explore and picture take. 

    I am a sucker for the color red----this tree is actually up on the WWU campus.   Were we will explore once again in my next blog post.  

   I ventured up Old Fairhaven Parkway--  were lines of trees are slowly turning a brilliant red.

Close up.

In front of the Middle School is this great tree.

Not much greater than stomping through dried up leaves.  

Soon my wandering took me down by the terminals.

Walk-way to Marine Park.

And lastly for this fine day, around Boulevard  Park.

              I always marvel at how the bay water is a different color every time I pass it.   

I am going to keep this post short and sweet.  

I hope you all have an awesome fall. 

Grab lots of coffee and your favorite hoodie.

And sit down for some coffee with friends.
